Thailand has been named as the most favorite Asian vacation destination among Scandinavian visitors, according to the Thai Tourism Authority office in Sweden.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Stockholm Office Director Manit Boonchim said that Swedish tourists have voted for this country as their most favorite place in Asia.

This is according to an impressively high number of Swedish tourists to Thailand during the first four months of this year, when around 190,000 people have flown into the kingdom to escape the cold winter to the sun, sea, and sand here.

Manit said the TAT believes that the number will rise further as the Swedes are keen to look for new exotic destinations while vacationing.

He also stated that one of Sweden’s leading tour companies, Apollo Travel, has reported that it has been receiving an increasing demand for holidays on the beaches as well as eco-tourism in Thailand from its Swedish clients these days.

It is now looking for new tourist destinations in the country for family holidays to cope with the rising demand.
